This is very near the center of town in Kharkov, Ukraine. They use these old trams that are absolutely on the edge of breaking down with every creak and groan.

people inside the train are like the dead bodies who have been in that train since the 1960’s!!
Great shot and meaningful editing

The tram on the photo is czechoslovak Tatra-CKD T3 type and was produced from 1964 and newer modifications up to eighties. That means this one could be min. 20 years old. Life is sometimes very hard and in the postcommunism countries even harder. The photo is very impressive.

these streetcars are from 70th, I remember them when they were brand new and I was little and my family was still big and alive but Kharkov was always gloomy.
